Drawbacks and Problems.
That seems to be my life as of the last few weeks. I started getting really heavy into MLB '06 over a friend's house, and when I found it for 14 bucks, I decided to pick it up and play a whole season...every game. That sounds easy enough, but my PS2 had to be a bastard. Not just a normal bastard in the sense. It would play older games like Devil May Cry or MLB Slugfest '04, but not The Show. It froze the game, and then told me I had a disk read error. I tried it on my friend's PS2...worked fine. I then went to Gamestop, traded in '06 for The Show '07 for like 15 bucks. I was content, but the SAME DAY I bought it, my PS2 went mental and ripped the game APART. It literally scratched it so badly that the game could never be played again. I was furious. I went back to Gamestop today and returned the game, but there were no other used copies so I had to upgrade to a new game for like 9 bucks more. I wasn't too happy. I thought since I was there, I might as well get a new PS2 while I am at it. Score. I got a 99 dollar used slim PS2 and a year warranty. Plus, the thing was silver. Very Nice. So I am horribly in debt now since I'm not getting payed for a while because my bosses suck, but at least I can play The Show again. Later.

Well doesnt that just blow. Im not a huge console fan but there are some awesome games out there that make buying one worth it. Unfortunately PS2 is engineered like a peice of crap, almost like they plan it to break so you have to buy another. I have gone through 4 PS2s in a very short amount of time, new, used, thick, & slim model all ultimately met the same end. And I took good care of those things, just completely unreliable junk, I swear you'd think they were engineered in America! So sony has ruined that platform for me, Im done with it and not even considering a PS3. I would rather buy an Xbox, gamecube, or Wii instead of wasting my money again. Good luck but I bet your new PS2 will puke too!
